They're ok I had one when I started out first. They're good and strong so can be drilled easily enough for a tap, but will lose 5 or 6 degrees in an hour if you don't wrap them up well.

The ability to keep the temp constant from either Biab or herms will eliminate another variable in brewing consistently good beer.

I bought one of the Bulldog all in one systems from Homebrewwest, it's a great piece of kit, especially at that price.
Would definitely recommend it. They're going for €449 now http://www.homebrewwest.ie/bulldog-brewer-all-in-one-brewing-system-444-c.asp
